The skeletal remains found in a wooded area off Marion Street in Chelmsford on April 28 have been identified as a man who went missing in 2013.
On April 28, a member of the public walking in the wooded area west of Marion Street located what they believed were parts of a human skeleton. There are trails in the wooded area, but police said the person was walking in the woods off-trail. The person contacted Greater Sudbury Police at around 5:30 p.m.
Officers attended the scene and confirmed what appeared to be human bones. GSPS spokesperson Kaitlyn Dunn said police conducted a ground search covering a 100-foot radius around the area where the remains were found and located additional human remains.
Dental records have now identified the remains as belonging to a man named Carey Cadeau. Cadeau, 41, was last seen Nov. 12, 2013. The missing person’s case opened on Cadeau nearly 11 years ago is now closed.
“Detectives have concluded the investigation into Carey’s death,” police said. “The circumstances of his death are not suspicious and there was no foul play.”
GSPS expressed condolences to Cadeau’s loved ones.
Police said the investigation involved its own personnel, as well as a forensic anthropologist, the Coroner’s Office, the Centre of Forensic Science, and local subject matter experts.
